AN ORFORD woman celebrated her 102nd birthday at Radley Common Community Centre last week.

Lillian Jones, who visits the centre three times a week, marked her birthday on Friday November 13 by having her favourite meal at the Grasmere Avenue community centre.

Centre volunteer Maureen Higham said: “It was brilliant – the men were singing to her, a councillor came down and gave her a kiss, she had her favourite meal.

“Not everybody reaches 102 – she had a wonderful time.

“She comes three times a week and she says it’s her sanctuary – she loves it.

“She enjoys bingo, socialising and chatting.”
